Fresh Marinara Sauce

Fresh Marinara Sauce

1 yellow onion chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 red peppers, chopped
5 garlic cloves minced

4 heirloom tomatoes chopped
4 roma style tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
1/2 cup water if tomatoes are juicy enough

Saute onions, when translucent add peppers till soft,
 then add garlic and saute for one more minute.
Add chopped tomatoes, herbs, spices, seasonings,
sugar, vinegar, and water.
Cook on medium heat till flavors are all blended.
When mixture is cool, blend it all up.
I froze this batch in pint jars,
and plan to make another batch to freeze.

Didn't want all my homegrown
 tomatoes and peppers to go to waste.
I can thaw out one pint and
pour over cooked pasta for a quick meal.
